LEAKS OF VALUE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF ACADEMIC DEPARTMENTS IN PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES OF THE ARGENTINA REPUBLIC

Abstract

This contribution focuses on the management of very special entities. These are Academic Units of Public Universities in the Argentine Republic. It is proposed to categorize it as a “Professional article”. In these organizations, the articulation of a “macro-process” in their management (regulatory compliance) is essential, and there are also “micro-processes” which, if not efficiently managed, will cause some value leakage. It is common to analyze Universities as administrations similar to those of private organizations, orienting themselves to the search for efficiency as a constant in both types of organizations and, above all, the management of their resources becomes a fundamental aspect. The objective is to apply two instruments for the strategic management of commercial organizations, such as the CANVAS Model and the Value Leakage Matrix. Both to visualize its structural dynamics, and to manage the containment of the economic value generated within the universities and their academic units. The methodology used was based on a synchronous, applied and mixed type research, since it worked with secondary sources (unstructured interviews) and primary sources through a collection of direct information on the sector obtained through the University Information System.
